Life

The 33 Martyrs of Palestine are commemorated in the calendar on 29 August, in the new style. The Azbyka page gives no life for them, no names, no date and no account of their suffering beyond the fact that they were of Palestine. For this reason nothing more can be said with certainty about their martyrdom.
